Who they are
Jakarta Bersatu Project is a refugee-led initiative in Cisarua, Indonesia, creating livelihood opportunities and practical skills for refugees.
What they are changing
They are challenging the idea that refugees are simply recipients of support by creating pathways to skills, income, independence and meaningful participation in their communities.
How Same Skies partners with them
In 2020, Same Skies helped the founders develop Jakarta Bersatu Project through the Transformative Leadership in Action programme and continues to support the team through flexible funding, mentoring, organisational development and practical support.
What has changed
Jakarta Bersatu Project now trains around 70-100 people each year through vocational and language training, including sewing, handicrafts, upcycling, Indonesian & English language and other livelihood skills, while helping participants market products and build pathways towards income.
Their words
"At Jakarta Bersatu Project, we believe every refugee has the ability to learn, lead, and make a meaningful contribution".
